National Geographic 2019 Adventurer of the YearBeautiful and deftly written and intimate and searing in its honesty, Anishs is a quest to conquer the trail and her own inner darkness.-Foreword ReviewsFilled with ruminative self-reflection, soaring natural descriptions and delightful accounts of the gracious, life-sustaining trail magic of hiking culture, Thirst is a testament to human endurance, inspiring to hikers and non-hikers alike.-Shelf Awareness By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the Triple Crown of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail AT, Pacific Crest Trail PCT, and Continental Divide Trail CDT―a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home, Heather, whose trail name is Anish, conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage--her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her. Amid the rigors of the trail--pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers--she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence. Ultimately, she realizes that records are merely a catalyst, giving her purpose, focus, and a goal to strive toward. Heather is the second woman to complete the “Double Triple Crown of Backpacking,” completing the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide National Scenic Trails twice each. She holds overall self-supported Fastest Known Times FKTs on the Pacific Crest Trail 2013―hiking it in 60 days, 17 hours, 12 minutes, breaking the previous mens record by four days and becoming the first women to hold the overall record―and the Arizona Trail 2016, which she completed in 19 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes. She also holds the womens self-supported FKT on the Appalachian Trail 2015 with a time of 54 days, 7 hours, 48 minutes. Heather has hiked more than twenty thousand miles since 2003, including ten thru-hikes. An ultramarathon runner, she has completed six 100-mile races since August 2011 as well as dozens of 50 km and 50-mile events. She has attempted the infamous Barkley Marathons four times, starting a third loop once. Heather is also an avid mountaineer working on several ascent lists in the US and abroad..Read by Heather Anderson.
